Chapter 174 The Prince's Position
Huangfu Jixun put away his smirk and looked at Zong Xin with a gloomy face.This monk is too arrogant, no one dares to talk to himself like this.As long as he waved his hand, 5 people in Huainan would come to kill him. What if he was a monk?Even with these masters present, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is impossible to compete with 5 horses.

Huangfu Jixun can be said to be the emperor outside the court in Huainan, and he said what he said.Unexpectedly, someone dared to talk to him like this, and he was so angry that he felt itchy in his heart, and really wanted to rush up and hack this monk to death.

"Master Zongxin... I respect you as a contemporary eminent monk..."

Zong Xin suddenly pulled out Yi Han's head and chopped it off directly, Huangfu Jixun immediately drew out his saber to block it.Although Zong Xin's saber was strong, he didn't feel any strength when he touched Huangfu Jixun twice. Because of inertia, Huangfu Jixun's saber was still pushing upwards, but Zong Xin's saber had already reached Huangfu Jixun's neck. On the spot, as long as you go one inch deeper, Huangfu Jixun was killed on the spot.

Such an exquisite saber movement, seeing such a powerful saber suddenly turn around, it was impossible to turn back when it was about to go up.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, and saw that Zong Xin's blade was on Huangfu Jixun's neck, and almost pierced it.But Huangfu Jixun's left hand held the blade tightly, and blood flowed from Huangfu Jixun's left hand. If you are cut off, you must also grasp this knife, otherwise it will be a dead end.

A drop of blood dripped from Huangfu Jixun's hand, and instantly condensed into ice, and when it fell to the ground, it was smashed into powder.Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Jixun's entire left hand began to form hoarfrost. If the stalemate continued, his entire hand and even his entire body would be frozen into ice.

Huangfu Jixun stepped on the ground with both feet, avoiding Zong Xin's attack range, and immediately resisted the cold air in his left hand.At this time, everyone pressed their hands on their weapons, ready to attack at any time.

The most embarrassing thing is the third prince Li Congjia, one is a general of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is a contemporary eminent monk.Although I have always wanted to kill him, but this situation is absolutely not acceptable, it must be hit with one blow, otherwise it will only leave a disaster.

Who should I help at this time?It's better to persuasion.But to persuade anyone is hard to say, Huangfu Jixun will not listen to his own words at all, let alone Zong Xin, he is a lunatic.

"Just now, the poor monk has shown mercy. I just want to tell you that if the poor monk wants to kill you, even if he hides among thousands of troops, the poor monk can easily take your head, so don't be too arrogant."

Huangfu Jixun's face was flushed with anger, no one dared to talk to him like this, and even dared to draw his sword at each other.But the saber just now was really exquisite, the monk used a saber technique that was never seen before, and the depth of the skill was unimaginable, it was clearly a kid who was less than 20 years old, and he could completely freeze his entire left hand in an instant.

What Zong Xin said just now is not without reason, if there is a wolf as his foot strength, even if he hides among thousands of troops, he may not be able to withstand his three swords.What's more, he can't hide in the army forever. If he is alone, it's really easy for him to kill himself.What a powerful monk, no wonder he is said to be a contemporary eminent monk. This kind of thing is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

In fact, it was Zong Xin's full strength just now, and his skill was far inferior to Huangfu Jixun's. The reason why he was able to freeze Huangfu Jixun's left hand was entirely due to Yi Han's special ability.If there was a real fight, Zong Xin would definitely not be Huangfu Jixun's opponent.Just guard against Zong Xin's knife.

Huangfu Jixun gritted his teeth and said: "Master, dismissing an official is just a routine matter, why do you have to do it so hard?"

"Routine business? The poor monk doesn't care, but don't interrogate the poor monk like a prisoner." Zong said: "The poor monk is a monk and doesn't want to meddle in worldly affairs. You, a worldly person, don't bother me, if If the poor monk is not pleasing to the eye, you can rush into the restaurant and take the head of the poor monk. If not, get out of here."

"Okay, okay, okay, just wait for me." Huangfu Jixun gritted his teeth and turned around, then left the restaurant.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were still terribly nervous.Although this time he avoided a big battle, what if Huangfu Jixun really brought someone to the restaurant?I'm afraid I won't feel at ease sleeping tonight.

Zong Xin smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, everyone. Huangfu Jixun is a stubborn duck. He never dared to bring troops here. The reason is very simple. We have the eldest lady of the Dugu Clan here, and the third prince of the Tang Dynasty. Huangfu Jixun No matter how brave Xun is, he would not dare to offend these two people, so I dare to be so arrogant."

"Husband, it's not good to do this. He deliberately offended Huangfu Jixun when he first arrived in Huainan, he is not a fun thing." How could Dugu Xingyue not know who Huangfu Jixun was, and he had [-] troops in his hand? , It can be said that the power is monstrous.Anyone who offends him will end up miserable.This is by no means the first time that this kind of thing happened. Someone once offended Huangfu Jixun, and was even silenced by the whole family. Everyone knew that Huangfu Jixun did it, but there was no tone.

Huangfu Jixun has a group of people under him, all of whom are used to assassinate and steal information.This group of people were dressed in black and acted at night. They were not only covert but also ruthless.So the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were afraid of him, but they didn't want to offend him.

Huangfu Jixun had never suffered such humiliation, he was so angry that he almost killed, but he endured it, left the restaurant and went straight to his camp.

Zong Xin shook his head and said: "A person like Huangfu Jixun has been arrogant for too long and no one can control him. If you don't show him some face, he will only become more arrogant. I did it on purpose just now, and doing so will make Huangfu Jixun afraid." Me, it would be more troublesome if he wasn't afraid of me."

No one understood what was going on in Zong Xin's head. It was better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. This Huangfu Jixun knew that he was a villain at a glance, and he was able to endure such anger.This person must have deep scheming, as a general, he has extra temperament and ability.

If it was Guo Wei, Zong Xin would have been slaughtered on the spot. This is the temperament a general should have.But this Huangfu Jixun was able to bear it. Although everyone admired him for being able to bear it, he shouldn't.In his own territory, he was bullied like this by a foreign monk. As a military commander, he should directly lead his troops to kill him.

Everyone is afraid of this, so they think Zong Xin has done something wrong.But this Huangfu Jixun didn't do this. If he was a civil servant, it might be understandable, but as a military commander, if he doesn't even have the slightest temperament, he is not qualified to be a military commander at all.

"What exactly do you want?" Li Yu gritted his teeth and asked, "This is an official of my Tang Dynasty, not your disciple of Zongxin. He didn't call in because Dugu Xingyue and I are here. There is no corpse left."

"Do you really think so?" Zong Dao said, "This Huangfu Jixun is just an idiot. He holds the power of soldiers and horses. He owns [-] soldiers in Huainan, and he is also a martial arts master. He was bullied by me, a junior. He still dare not make a move at this level. He dare not make a move this time, I think he will never dare to make a move against me in his life. You don’t understand, when one person is afraid of another, even if I am unarmed and seriously injured, but He can kill me with just raising his hand, but he still doesn't dare to do anything to me. I just want Huangfu Jixun to be afraid of me, so afraid that he dare not look me in the eye."

"Is it interesting to insult the incompetence of my Tang officials? I would like to ask this eminent monk, why did you do this?" Li Yu didn't understand Zong Xin's behavior. As an eminent monk, he shouldn't bully people like this .

Zong Dao: "For you~ Don't you want to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? You can't sit on the throne alone, let alone you are only the third prince now. It is even more difficult to ascend to the throne of God. .If you have Huangfu Jixun's secret support, I believe it will reduce a lot of resistance."

When Zong Xin said this, almost everyone thought that their ears were broken, and they heard hallucinations in broad daylight.Is it because of the cold weather?After regaining his senses, he immediately understood what Zong Xin's intentions were.

Although Zong Xin said that Li Yu can be the king of Tang, why can he be the king of Tang?There are two elder brothers on the top. Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty support the eldest prince and the second prince. What qualifications does Li Yu have to compete with them?If Li Yu wants to be the king of Tang, he must win over his own power first, otherwise even if Li Jing passes the throne to Li Yu, he may not be able to sit firmly.

Li Yu also realized that although Zong Xin once said that he could be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, without his help... I'm afraid this is just empty talk.Could it be that Zong Xin really wanted to help him seize the crown prince's position?

Li Yu shook his head suddenly, impossible, absolutely impossible.It can be said that I met Zong Xin by chance, and even had some enemies with him, but Zong Xin's attitude towards him has always been very strange. There must be a reason why he would help him for no reason.

At this time, Li Yu fell into deep thinking about what to do.Should he find a way to kill Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin, and be this useless prince for the rest of his life, or should he save Zong Xin's life first and let him help him seize the throne before making plans.

First of all, it is not easy to kill Zongxin.Even in Jinling, Zong Xin is still protected by the Dugu Clan, not to mention that it is not easy to kill him.If Zong Xin didn't want to fight and ran away on a wolf, he might not be able to catch up with all the troops of Datang.The speed of the wolf is far faster than that of the horse, which Li Yu has also seen.

Zong Xin wanted to escape, but no one could stop him.So it's not easy to kill him, unless he can get more of the Red Emperor's essence, it is absolutely impossible to defeat this monk.

Since there is no way to kill him now, it would be good to let him help him obtain the crown prince first.

Li Yu thought for a long time and said: "Master Zongxin, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on only one Huangfu Jixun."

"Third Prince, the world is like chess. You are playing against your two older brothers in this game. Your two older brothers have chariots, cannons, horses, and bishops, but you have nothing on the chessboard, not even a single pawn. The poor monk will prepare a chess piece for you, and the name of this chess piece is 'Sinking Cart'. As long as you make good use of this chess piece, it may be possible to turn defeat into victory."

Zong Xin's analogy is very appropriate. It is too late for Li Yu to win over the power now, so it is best to start with Huangfu Jixun.Huangfu Jixun is a "sinking car".Although Huangfu Jixun was bold and fearful, if he was really frightened to the extreme, he would go out instead.

This person holds the power of soldiers and horses, and may counterattack Jinling at any time.When the situation is out of control, the troops in Huangfu Jixun's hands are very useful.

Both the eldest prince and the second prince believed that Huangfu Jixun belonged to them, so they would definitely neglect this aspect.They would never have thought that Huangfu Jixun would suddenly lead troops to counterattack.If the soldiers overwhelm Jinling, they will not have the final say on who will be the emperor, but those who have the military power in their hands will have the final say.
